A new ring for your indole: An unprecedented copper‐catalyzed enantioselectiveFriedel–Craftsalkylation/N‐hemiacetalization cascade reaction with indoles and β,γ‐unsaturated α‐ketoesters is reported. This mild strategy provides new access to various synthetically and biologically important 2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrolo[1,2‐a]indoles in a highlyenantioselective manner.
吲哚的新环:据报道,铜与吲哚和β,γ-不饱和α-酮酸酯发生了前所未有的铜催化对映选择性Friedel-Crafts烷基化/ N-半缩醛化级联反应。这种温和的策略以高度对映选择性的方式为各种合成和生物学上重要的2,3-二氢-1 H-吡咯并[1,2- a ]吲哚提供了新途径。
Neighboring Thioether Participation in Bioinspired Radical Oxidative C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H α-Oxyamination of Pyruvate Derivatives
A bioinspired radical oxidative α-oxyamination of pyruvate with an oxoammonium salt through multiple-site concerted proton–electron transfer process has been developed, which was facilitated by anchoring the mercapoto chains as a “hopping” site at the γ-position of α-keto esters.
direct Friedel–Craftsreaction of chromene hemiacetals with indoles, furans and sterically hindered anilines has been accomplished with high selectivity and excellent yields in the presence of a catalytic amount of hafnium triflate [Hf(OTf)4, 0.1 mol%, 0–40 °C]. The mild conditions tolerate various sensitive functional and protecting groups, and the products were confirmed unambiguously from their spectra
Cascade reaction of β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters with phenols in trityl chloride/TFA system. Highly selective synthesis of 4-aryl-2H-chromenes and their applications
The treatment of β,γ-unsaturatedα-ketoesters with phenols in the presence of trityl chloride and 4 Å molecular sieves in refluxing trifluoroacetic acid afforded 4-aryl-2H-chromenes in high yields, in which a reverse of the regiochemistry of Jørgensen–Rutjes chromane synthesis was observed. The isolation of 4H-chromene intermediates, confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis, indicates that the early
